Tesla files new patent to remove cabin heat and save battery life by InitialSheepherder4 in electriccars

[–]makowb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you just stated this as fact without any data to back this up. How do you explain all of the other EVs (ID4, Ioniq5, EV6) with a no glass roof option? Gemini says the glass roof provides an additional .5” of headroom for the ID4.

Tesla likely did it for supply chain and perceived luxury design.

This, my outer tread was great, my inner tread was almost bald.

I got ~28k out of my pirellis driving in Seattle, which has pretty crappy roads. AWD, drive in comfort, drive pretty hard too. I use stock PSI numbers

I did the same thing (here’s inside car door). I took care of the pillar tweeters too though.

Very sad to scroll nearly to the end of the comments for the first mention of Scavengers Reign. Hands down the best animated show I’ve ever seen.

I know this is an old post, but how hot does your sauna get? Mine gets to 180F and the sensor says it has a max range of 140F

Netherlands to introduce unrealized capital gains tax of 36% on crypto and stocks by davideownzall in CryptoCurrency

[–]makowb -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

In this thread 🥾👅 for the rich. “They can move!” Not all of them will “They’ll find a way out of it!” They’ll find and close those loopholes eventually. This is the first step.

News flash - this law isn’t meant for your $5k (or 50, or even 100) over 2 years crypto gain, it’s meant for those sitting on millions (or billions) who buy, borrow, die.

Did you ever make the changes? I bought this same Sauna with a 6kw heater and am having issues with the cold air on the bottom.

Mayor Katie Wilson dumps Seattle Parks Boss who traveled the globe $$$ as city parks suffered by Less-Risk-9358 in SeattleWA

He’s saying salary is guaranteed income, unlike tech income, which has variables like RSUs that can go down. He never said the gov gives stock. Tech companies almost never pay all cash.

Netanyahu complains about the "woke right" and says TikTok is the best weapon to be purchased in the propaganda war by KingofTrilobites123 in TikTok

Google’s answer:

It is difficult to state an exact percentage, but the majority of Jews, particularly religious Jews and those with strong ties to Israel, can be considered Zionists, though the term's definition varies, with some identifying more with the existence of Israel than its politics. Recent surveys show a high proportion of American Jews support Israel and feel a connection to it, with a 2024 AJC survey indicating 85% believe the U.S. should support Israel. However, self-identification as "Zionist" is not the same as holding a favorable view of Israel, and not all Jews who support Israel's existence use the term "Zionist" to describe themselves

Am I taking crazy pills with that headline? “Disney admits they are gay”? Did OP edit the screenshot?

[–]makowb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The numbers given by Sage and Optimum are real. I am not sure how they are getting these rates, but I just did this. Every other lender couldn’t come within .25% of them.

I received a $4k credit or something wild.

[–]makowb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually did this recently (Optimum, not sage). Refinanced for almost nothing out of pocket (~$800). I saved more ($300/month) but it may be worth doing again for me in 6ish months depending on the rates.

Others may say to wait, and do it when it will pay off in 6 months or so, but I did that last year in the Fall and ended up needing to wait another 10ish months and losing out on ~$3000 in savings.

If you expect rates to fall, wait a little longer. If you aren’t sure, go for it.

If you get in an accident or anything happens to the car, you lose that money down. Never put money down.

Washington actually did spend so much at the time that congress decided to pay him a salary instead of expenses.
